Chapter 386: Lie to your devil
After the ultimatum was issued, Luo Yang refreshed himself and convened a few diplomats to discuss countermeasures again, a breakthrough from the US policy is inevitable, who called this country a second-rate country, and there was a rebellion.
I must practice the little gourd, but the time is not right.
There is not much suspense about the ultimatum, anyway, the division and melee of the United States is definitely an opportunity, and the United States will not send troops to retaliate anyway.
"King Rui, I'm worried, it's not the US ** team that dares to come, they can't do it, they can't come, it's just that, according to your statement, the south is not the opponent of the north, and sooner or later it will fail, if we get stuck in the neck of the US coalition government at such a critical moment, they will remember the hatred, which is equivalent to planting a landmine." Li Hongzhang said,
Luo Yang admires this guy's soft egg ability, he dares to be afraid of anything, and even the term mine can be invented in advance.
"What you said is not bad, but the United States has never been worried, they are following behind the ass of Britain and France, coercing the former Qing government of our country to sign an unequal treaty, are they not afraid of our retaliation."
"This." Li Hongzhang was speechless,
"We are treating others the way they are doing." Luo Yang said, "What else do you have to worry about?" ”
Under Luo Yang's instigation, everyone put forward various assumptions, Zhang Zhidong was worried that the United States turned to Britain and France for help to jointly exert pressure on the Chinese government, "King Rui, contemptible people feel that this matter is not trivial, and Minister Luo Er will definitely seek help from Britain and France, which is inevitable, because the signing of these treaties is linked, and Britain and France will inevitably win over the United States in order to safeguard their own interests. ”
This idea is quite good, even Luo Yang, he didn't think about it so deeply, because, he felt that for the time being, Britain and France would not move, and he would continue to delay and win over them with the opening up of the whole territory of China that began in Shanghai.
"What should I do, King Rui." Li Hongzhang asked again,
Actually, he didn't really have a question, but embarrassed Luo Yang, if it weren't for Luo Yangnian in his identity as a big historical celebrity, he could still take a bullet during the negotiations in Maguan, Japan, and really wanted to kick him away, you are really good,
After thinking for a while, Luo Yang smiled and said: "Wolves, if the great powers adopt wolf tactics, it will be difficult for us to be absolutely sure for the time being, so let's divide and disintegrate, divide and conquer, and break each one." ”
Sure enough, the next day, the British minister Ge Luo came to Luo Yang's residence to ask for a meeting, Luo Yang has now handed over other major matters to the specific supervisor to be responsible, and Zhang Suimou has also been dispatched, Luo Bingzhang and others have also been dispatched, responsible for the overall situation, and he has the energy to deal with foreign affairs.
"Welcome to the British Empire, Minister of the Empire on which the sun never sets." Luo Yang walked out, stretched out his arm with a smile, took the initiative to hug him, and surprised Glo,
"Your Excellency King Rui, thank you for summoning me."
In fact, even if the British minister does not come, Luo Yang is ready to summon him, in fact, if the United States does not have the representative of the south, he is also ready to create a character dispute, anyway, creating contradictions and amending the treaty is an inevitable step.
After the two sat down, they talked a few words of gossip, and Glo praised the military discipline of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom violently.
"Alright, Minister, what do you have to say?" Luo Yang asked,
Glo expressed his worries, first, the attack and massacre of 2,000 British and French troops in the Shanghai area has not yet been investigated, second, there has been no progress in the negotiations in Shanghai, and Hong Renji insisted on a tough stance, making it difficult to complete the negotiations, and third, the matter of the US minister on the revision of the treaty,
Luo Yang immediately said: "We will immediately send more professionals to participate in the investigation, and, this king said, we must investigate seriously and responsibly, and after finding out clearly, the bandits who attacked your army will all be brought to justice, and avenge the officers and soldiers who died. ”
For Luo Yang's first two statements, Ge Luo was very, very satisfied, "Very good, thank you very much for Your Excellency King Rui's statement, we are relieved." Then, he changed his words: "Regarding the matter of changing the contract, please make a clear statement from King Rui." ”
Luo Yang laughed: "What kind of contract to change." ”
"Hmm." Glo's eyes exploded: "Didn't you negotiate with the American Minister Rohr about revising the treaty?" ”
"Not really."
"No, could it be that Rohr, an upright minister of a great country, would deceive me." Glo was unbelievable,
Western devils all wear a pair of cardigans, Nima,
"You will judge for yourself whether Glo deceived you or not, but, I tell you, we did not ask the American minister to amend the treaty." Luo Yang continued to flicker,
"That's not right." Ge Luo's eyes were very vicious, he saw Luo Yang's demeanor, and there were some questions,
Luo Yang explained the matter, and then said: "The truth is that the government in the south of the United States asked us to assist them, and put forward very generous conditions, and we could not bear it from the perspective of international interests, so we took the opportunity to put forward conditions to the US government minister, hoping that they could consider that as long as we gave us some benefits, we would not give up our traditional friendship with them." ”
Luo Yang spoke reasonably, so that Glo listened to it and felt that he could understand it very well, but he was still not down-to-earth: "If the British Empire and your country are negotiating the establishment of diplomatic relations, do you need to change the treaty?" ”
"No, absolutely not, not at all." Luo Yang assured,
Western devils, there is no reason to talk about it, international relations are the law of the jungle, especially in the nineteenth century, only the barrel of a gun can produce sovereignty and the right to speak, as for the strategy and tactics of deception, there is nothing to be ashamed of.
Luo Yang doesn't want to be bullstruck, and he is so polite to a country of opium dealers, but although the military strength of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom is not weak, the new rifle has just been invented and is in mass production, and the army has not yet been officially equipped. We are able to provide a lot of machines,
"Are you willing to take complete responsibility for what you say?"
"Yes, yes, this king declares that the essence of the policy toward the United States is not to involve the treaty itself, and in the future, relations with Britain, France, and other countries will not involve any revision of the content of the treaty." Luo Yang said categorically: "I hope that the minister of your country will not listen to the instigation of others." ”
